<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>

<p>Hey, what&#39;s this?</p>

<p><em  class="code">checksetup.pl</em> is a script that is supposed to run during installation time and also after every upgrade.</p>

<p>The goal of this script is to make the installation even easier. It does this by doing things for you as well as testing for problems in advance.</p>

<p>You can run the script whenever you like. You MUST run it after you update Bugzilla, because it will then update your SQL table definitions to resync them with the code.</p>

<p>You can see all the details of what the script does at <a href="#How_Checksetup_Works" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;How Checksetup Works&#34;</a>.</p>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="MODIFYING_CHECKSETUP"
>MODIFYING CHECKSETUP</a></h1>

<p>There should be no need for Bugzilla Administrators to modify this script; all user-configurable stuff has been moved into a local configuration file called <em  class="code">localconfig</em>. When that file in changed and <em  class="code">checksetup.pl</em> is run, then the user&#39;s changes will be reflected back into the database.</p>

<p>However, developers often need to modify the installation process. This section explains how <em  class="code">checksetup.pl</em> works, so that you know the right part to modify.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="How_Checksetup_Works"
>How Checksetup Works</a></h2>

<p><em  class="code">checksetup.pl</em> runs through several stages during installation:</p>

<ol>
<li>Checks if the required and optional perl modules are installed, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.html#check_requirements" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;check_requirements&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::Requirements</a>.</li>

<li>Creates or updates the <em  class="code">localconfig</em> file, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/Localconfig.html#update_localconfig" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_localconfig&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::Localconfig</a>.</li>

<li>Checks the DBD and database version, using <a href="./Bugzilla/DB.html#bz_check_requirements" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bz_check_requirements&#34; in Bugzilla::DB</a>.</li>

<li>Creates the Bugzilla database if it doesn&#39;t exist, using <a href="./Bugzilla/DB.html#bz_create_database" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bz_create_database&#34; in Bugzilla::DB</a>.</li>

<li>Creates all of the tables in the Bugzilla database, using <a href="./Bugzilla/DB.html#bz_setup_database" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bz_setup_database&#34; in Bugzilla::DB</a>.
<p>Note that all the table definitions are stored in <a href="./Bugzilla/DB/Schema.html#ABSTRACT_SCHEMA" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;ABSTRACT_SCHEMA&#34; in Bugzilla::DB::Schema</a>.</p>
</li>

<li>Puts the values into the enum tables (like <code  class="code">resolution</code>, <code  class="code">bug_status</code>, etc.) using <a href="./Bugzilla/DB.html#bz_populate_enum_tables" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bz_populate_enum_tables&#34; in Bugzilla::DB</a>.</li>

<li>Creates any files that Bugzilla needs but doesn&#39;t ship with, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.html#update_filesystem" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_filesystem&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::Filesystem</a>.</li>

<li>Creates the <em  class="code">.htaccess</em> files if you haven&#39;t specified not to in <em  class="code">localconfig</em>. It does this with <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.html#create_htaccess" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create_htaccess&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::Filesystem</a>.</li>

<li>Updates the system parameters (stored in <em  class="code">data/params</em>), using <a href="./Bugzilla/Config.html#update_params" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_params&#34; in Bugzilla::Config</a>.</li>

<li>Pre-compiles all templates, to improve the speed of Bugzilla. It uses <a href="./Bugzilla/Template.html#precompile_templates" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;precompile_templates&#34; in Bugzilla::Template</a> to do this.</li>

<li>Fixes all file permissions to be secure. It does this differently depending on whether or not you&#39;ve specified <code  class="code">$webservergroup</code> in <em  class="code">localconfig</em>.
<p>The function that does this is <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.html#fix_all_file_permissions" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;fix_all_file_permissions&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::Filesystem</a>.</p>
</li>

<li>Populates the <code  class="code">fielddefs</code> table, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Field.html#populate_field_definitions" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;populate_field_definitions&#34; in Bugzilla::Field</a>.</li>

<li>This is the major part of checksetup--updating the table definitions from one version of Bugzilla to another.
<p>The code for this is in <a href="./Bugzilla/Install/DB.html#update_table_definitions" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_table_definitions&#34; in Bugzilla::Install::DB</a>.</p>

<p>This includes creating the default Classification (using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install.html#create_default_classification" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create_default_classification&#34; in Bugzilla::Install</a>) and setting up all the foreign keys for all tables, using <a href="./Bugzilla/DB.html#bz_setup_foreign_keys" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bz_setup_foreign_keys&#34; in Bugzilla::DB</a>.</p>
</li>

<li>Creates the system groups--the ones like <code  class="code">editbugs</code>, <code  class="code">admin</code>, and so on. This is <a href="./Bugzilla/Install.html#update_system_groups" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_system_groups&#34; in Bugzilla::Install</a>.</li>

<li>Creates all of the user-adjustable preferences that appear on the &#34;General Preferences&#34; screen. This is <a href="./Bugzilla/Install.html#update_settings" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update_settings&#34; in Bugzilla::Install</a>.</li>

<li>Creates an administrator, if one doesn&#39;t already exist, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install.html#create_admin" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create_admin&#34; in Bugzilla::Install</a>.
<p>We also can make somebody an admin at this step, if the user specified the <code  class="code">--make-admin</code> switch.</p>
</li>

<li>Creates the default Product and Component, using <a href="./Bugzilla/Install.html#create_default_product" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create_default_product&#34; in Bugzilla::Install</a>.</li>
</ol>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Modifying_the_Database"
>Modifying the Database</a></h2>

<p>Sometimes you&#39;ll want to modify the database. In fact, that&#39;s mostly what checksetup does, is upgrade old Bugzilla databases to the modern format.</p>

<p>If you&#39;d like to know how to make changes to the datbase, see the information in the Bugzilla Developer&#39;s Guide, at: <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/developer.html#sql-schema" class="podlinkurl"
>http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/developer.html#sql-schema</a></p>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="RUNNING_CHECKSETUP_NON-INTERACTIVELY"
>RUNNING CHECKSETUP NON-INTERACTIVELY</a></h1>

<p>To operate checksetup non-interactively, run it with a single argument specifying a filename that contains the information usually obtained by prompting the user or by editing localconfig.</p>

<p>The format of that file is as follows:</p>

<pre  class="code"> $answer{&#39;db_host&#39;}   = &#39;localhost&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;db_driver&#39;} = &#39;mydbdriver&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;db_port&#39;}   = 0;
 $answer{&#39;db_name&#39;}   = &#39;mydbname&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;db_user&#39;}   = &#39;mydbuser&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;db_pass&#39;}   = &#39;mydbpass&#39;;

 $answer{&#39;urlbase&#39;} = &#39;http://bugzilla.mydomain.com/&#39;;

 (Any localconfig variable or parameter can be specified as above.)

 $answer{&#39;ADMIN_EMAIL&#39;} = &#39;myadmin@mydomain.net&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;ADMIN_PASSWORD&#39;} = &#39;fooey&#39;;
 $answer{&#39;ADMIN_REALNAME&#39;} = &#39;Joel Peshkin&#39;;

 $answer{&#39;SMTP_SERVER&#39;} = &#39;mail.mydomain.net&#39;;

 $answer{&#39;NO_PAUSE&#39;} = 1</pre>

<p><code  class="code">NO_PAUSE</code> means &#34;never stop and prompt the user to hit Enter to continue, just go ahead and do things, even if they are potentially dangerous.&#34; Don&#39;t set this to 1 unless you know what you are doing.</p>
